Vitol-backed Varo Energy and GoodFuels are stepping up their biofuel drive for shipping.

Varo subsidiary Reinplus Fiwado Bunker (RFB) and the Dutch producer have extended a partnership forged last year to improve availability of biofuel oil (BFO) to deep sea vessels leaving from Rotterdam.

Varo will help boost the sourcing, production, blending and distribution of the fuel across the ARA region.
